Zamzar

Hey - what a useful tool this is! Tried a couple of conversions & they were very quick. A little confused at first as the selected file did not appear in the box, but when I tried to add it again Zamzar told me not to be stupid as it was already there! Worked a treat though.

Can definitely see me using this tool (if I can remember it under pressure at the time). I guess the limiting factor would be if the patrons had an e-mail address already (if not, add another 10 -15 minutes to set them up with one, and also whether they would want to pay to access the converted file?). But it will be a good tool to try just when we are looking stupid in front of the patrons 'cause we can't work miracles, produce just what they want & save the day!

Here we go again.....

What a long time since I looked at this blog (last post Sept 17 2008) - was rather surprised that I could remember my login and password after all this time (and that they actually worked still!)

It will be interesting to see what new developments there have been in the world of Web 2.0 since my last interaction. And hopefully the chance to see some new things. I am also hoping it won't be as time consuming as the last round.

Sometimes I get the feeling that blogs, facebook, twitter etc are already becoming old news - personally I think they are a great way to divert your attention & spend time (sometimes time you can't spare).
